Scott Van Maldegiam’s Summary
Currently working for Giant Bicycle as an Account Executive. This position really fits me well as it marries my passion for cycling with my sales skills. I take pride in providing excellent customer service and being the advocate for my customer, while at the same time touting the benefits of Giant's awesome products.
I am continuing to finance homes on the side. As my past customers know, I will only refinance their home if it is in their best interest. I have presented many previous customers with Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) the facts - the numbers - and allow them to come to the right decision which in most cases was to do nothing. Now that many ARMs are within a year of adjusting and fixed rates are extremely low, that has changed.
CRMS designation - Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist
Top Rookie Originator in Illinois - 2002 according to Mortgage Originator Magazine
I care about my customers and I am excited about what I do. Sounds corny, but the feedback I receive from customers consistently tells me that these are the major reasons why people enjoy doing business with me.
